The structure look fine. The representation of the tracks are poor.
It resembles a earthen bank better than a set of rail road tracks.
Any ideas ?

I think the perspective is broken. __________________ vanishing --. ,-'| | point | ,-' | | V | | | + | | | y | | | z | `-. | | \|___x `-.|________________| This is the perspective of the building. The X and Y axes are in the plane of the picture, and Z is towards the vanishing point. The track should be in the XZ plane. Assuming the track is intended to run parallel to the building, the sleepers should lie along the X axis, and the rails should converge towards the vanishing point: __________________ ,-'| | ,-' | | | | | + | | | y | | | z | |=\ '-. | | \|___x |==\ `-.|________________| Instead, the sleepers lie in the XY plane, and the rails don't converge. This makes it look like the track is on a slope. __________________ ,-'| | ,-' | | | | | + | | | y | | | z | `-.,'`-.'-. | | \|___x `-.,'`-.`-.|________________| On the other hand, if the track isn't intended to be parallel to the building, you still need to fix it a bit. Either the rails, the sleepers, or both should converge. I won't try and diddle your picture because our styles are quite different, but I hope this helps. -- Harry Mason ("hjm200.ecs@soton@ac@uk" =~ tr/@./.@/)

I see a diddle for a building on a cliff (actually thats what I thought it was before I read this, somehow "TRAIN DEPOT" wasnt obvious enough heh). I wont attempt it since I've been up all night and I'm wayyyyyyy too tired. Looks pretty good though. Try out some of what Harry suggested, is my suggestion. T.

It was, but could not get what I was tring to do on the screen. This helped. Saved the perspective tutorial for a reminder and if you do not object, it can be pass along as future referance and tutorial to others with the same question. > __________________ >vanishing --. ,-'| | > point | ,-' | | > V | | | > + | | | > y | | | > z | `-. | | > \|___x `-.|________________| > >This is the perspective of the building.
